In 2016, I joined my co-authors Sara Shrapnell and photographer Alisha Westerfeld on a book tour in the UK.\u00a0 First, we attended the belly dance festival Celebrating Dance in Torquay UK.\u00a0 Sara and I both taught workshops, sold books, and had a great time hanging out. The next weekend, we headlined a day of workshops and a showcase on the Isle of Wight.\u00a0 Sara is a great teacher and it’s always fun to work with her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Between these two events, Alisha and I spent three days in Bristol.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I came down with sniffles that evolved into a cold.\u00a0 I was not just a little sick, I became MONSTER SICK.\u00a0 We stumbled into the Bristol Museum and I asked Alisha to take a photo of these beautiful clappers.\u00a0 Who knew there was going to be an Egyptian exhibit in this city museum?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was so bleary-eyed and run-down that I didn’t even notice the gorgeous set of finger cymbals in the case.\u00a0 It wasn’t until I was home, recovered from bronchitis, and flipping through Alisha’s photos that I spotted this treasure!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If you are interested in more historical information about finger cymbals, you can check out the first sections of my book “Zills: Music on Your Fingertips.”\u00a0 And I frequently share lectures on this subject both online and (when we can do it again) in person.<\/span><\/p>\n

What will I be covering in this talk?<\/h2>\n

In this digital seminar, I’ll be covering my mindset and approach to formulating key inquiry questions and then sharing my methodology and workflow. I’ll be sharing my favorite research tools, digital platforms for storing information, and how I use digital databases to uncover historical data that helps us document the history of belly dance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with this talk, I’ve put together an eBook that includes a breakdown of the process of performing archival research and live-links to my favorite digital databases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join me for a peek “behind the curtain,” enjoy a beautiful slide show of historic images, and maybe even take your own historical research skills to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n
